Exotek F1 Ultra R5 carpet spec upgrades

Exotek Racing has released a number of ‘carpet spec’ upgrades for their latest 1:10 formula pan car kit the F1Ultra R5 which it launched back in March. The Calfornia based manufacturer has added four new upgrades to adapt the car for carpet start with an Inline battery mounting set. This provides more steering for high grip black carpet tracks and is for use with LCG shorty packs (20mm or lower) and smaller ESC’s such as the Hobbywing XR10 Stock Spec. They have also introduced a direct to rear pod carbon fibre wing mount. With lowered mounting and less flex it is best suited for high grip carpet tracks with Exotek highlight it is not for use on older F1 Ultras. The F1Ultra R5 also gets a wide profile carpet shock tower with the wider shock mount geometry providing less chassis roll to maximise performance on high grip carpet. Finally they are offering a 5.8mm machined delrin swivel ball with cup. This offers lower friction than the alloy ball for the smoothest steering pin movement and suspension action.

Capelli F1-RR 1:10 Formula 1

We love nothing more than a passion product and it is super exciting to see this one, the Capelli F1-RR 1:10 Formula 1, coming Victoria, Australia. A project brought to fruition by Ryan Capel, it was designed and manufactured ‘In a shed, literally’. The origin of this project started with Capel’s passion for 1:12 Pan car racing. He wanted to race 1:10 F1 but lacked enthusiasm towards rubber tyres, so decided to construct a chassis that could race on small diameter foam tyres. (40mm – 52mm). Racing on asphalt in Australia means 5mm minimum ride height, this is not achievable with any chassis on the market today, whilst using 42mm rear foam tyres. Testing thus far has seen lap times on par with 1:12 chassis on asphalt. While currently a very limited range of F1 foam tyres / wheels exist in varying shores and compounds but this is something Capel is working to bring to market.

Team Bomber AK12 Quick Battery Holder Set

Japanese 1:12 specialists Team Bomber has released this optional Quick Battery Holder Set for its AK12 series 1:12 chassis. It was developed to improve the disadvantages of standard tape-fixed battery installations, such as the hassle of replacing the tape and the possibility of the tape breaking due to interference with the road surface, causing the battery to move. Removing the battery from the quick battery holder set is really easy. First, remove the centr eshock, loosen the two screws that secure the battery holding plate, and remove the plate to quickly access the battery. In addition, battery positioning, which has been ambiguous until now, can be done reliably by replacing the included 3D battery plate, which is also useful for quantifying settings.
